The Philadelphia Eagles selected Goedert in the second round (49th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.[11][12] The Eagles traded their second (52nd overall) and fifth round picks (169th overall) to the Indianapolis Colts in order to move up in the second round, ahead of the Dallas Cowboys (50th overall), to draft Goedert.[13] It was speculated by draft analysts that the Dallas Cowboys were going to possibly draft Goedert as they were in need of a tight end following the retirement of veterans Jason Witten and James Hanna.[14] Goedert was the third tight end drafted in 2018 and was selected as a replacement for Brent Celek who the Eagles released on March 13, 2018.[15]
